Bathroom Update!

 (This is EXCITING!)

Patricia and I did extensive Home Improvement research this weekend Dear Readers! We spent nearly all of Saturday in and out of stores, comparing prices and colors. I purchased a sample to try out before making my final choice and I have to say I am sold on the "stock" pinwheel from Lowe's.

The sales guy at Lowe's was concerned when I just started taking out sheets of tile and laying them on the floor. I needed to see it in real life, not on a display picture. I think this will work quite nicely and I'm 100% sure we will use black grout.

The above two pictures will give you a good idea of color scheme! Black and white pinwheel tile with black grout for flooring. I now plan to paint the walls to have a wainscot. (I might have the wall around the bathtub tiled.) Using Valspar Notre Dame on the bottom four foot of the wall and Comet Dust on the top four feet. The ceiling I think will be a basic white. All the fixtures and hardware will be chrome. The claw foot bathtub and metal linen cabinet will be painted burgundy. (And I will have burgundy towels and things)

(My 1940's white enamel cast iron pedestal sink!)

(Awesome working 1930's vanity lights I picked up in Kansas.)

(1930's Toothbrush and glass holder)

I have so much cool 1940's and 50's junk to fill the bathroom with, but I just have to be patient... get it painted, tiled, plumed, and get it all hooked up.

Heheheh nothing money and time wont fix!
